SLACK WATER NAVIGATION.

There is little doubt, that the ap-
preparation to purchase the franchise
of the Green and Barren River Nav
igation Company will become a law,
in which event, the slack water navi-
cation of Rough River is an assured
fact. Our river is as important as
the Kentucky or the Licking River.
1t is a better stream than Salt River;
and is the natural commercial chan
mel for greater extent of territory
than the Tradewater.
Rough River would have been
made available long ago, but for the
company which controlled its mouth,
charging such enormous tolls that no
boat could afford to enter the trade.
The building of locks and dams, by
private enterprise, for the same rea.
son was rendered unfeasible. This
hindrance is now, virtually removed.
The General Government will soon
be the constitutional owner of both
Green and Rough Rivers and will in
the interests of commerce, improve
both. We cannot reasonably expect
any action to be taken in that direc.
ton during the present session Of
Congress, which ends on the 18th inst.
That positive action will be taken in
the next Congress, toward the i'm.
prOvemcnt of these streams, is cer-
tain. Our Senators are fully in
formed as to the facts in the case.
They are watchful of our interests,
and will miss no opportunity TO adj
vance them.

Beck and Blackburn in response to

CLARA BELLE LETTERS.

Their Vile and Indecent Character Ex-
posed-Their Continued Appearance In
Alleged Respectable Journals.
A correspondent of the IVomam'S
Journal writing from st. Paul says;
But there is no journalistic atrocity
that quite equals the continued publi-
cation of the CLARA Belle" letters. Is
it the natural result of the prohibition
of impure literature to drive it from the
papers that can be seized as openly
"obsccne" into the Sunday editions of
our great dailics? Can the Woman's
Press Associations deal with this mat
terp
There are two grades of letters pub
lished over the signature mentioned
above, both furnished by some syndi-
cate to Western papers, perhaps to
Southern papers, also. The letters of
the lower grade are vile in the cx-
treme, and these are sent by daily
paper in San Francisco, one in st.
Paul and one in Chicago, l believe,
into thousands of families every Sun
day morning. The other grade is pub
lished by a Chicago paper, ST. Paul
paper and other semi-respectable dali
les, Even this clarified grade of
letters gives low and lewd represent
tation of girlhood and womanhood,
with stories of marital infidelity and
madenly indecorum that would drive
pure-hearted mothers almost wild with
Indignation and sorrow if they real
lied the situation. So long as l sup
posed that the author of these letters
was woman | suffered keen shame as
woman, but when | learned the
creatures sex, l supposed that decent
men would speedily put an end TO the
outrage. Some vague protests have
been made, and some boycotting of the
Sunday papers by the best families;
but the editors who are in the secret
have, since the first exposure, carefully
guarded it from their readers, and
seem to think they are doing very
smart thing. Can any thing be done
to stop this game of false pretenses?

THE NYAM-NyAMS.
Savagcs Who Until Recently Ate None
But Human Flesh.


The English mind, Zcbchr said,
could hardly conceive the condition of
the Nyam-Nyam people. They had no
God, no prophet and no law. One man
worshiped a tree, another his chickens.
some fire, some water. some the buf-
falo, some the serpent. They had no
occupation but hunting and fighting
one with another, and they were can
nibals. Cannibaiism prevailed among
them to such an extent that when he
first went down they ate none but hui
man flesh. Men. women and children
were killed in the market, cut up and
sold, as Europeans sell beef and NUT
ton. All prisoners Of war were eaten,
and ill-behaved persons; also men who
grew too fat to be good for any thing
else, and persons who died natural
death. A young Nyam-Nyam, who
was in attendance upon the Pasha, en-
planned, apropos of this, that it is not
the custom to eat your own relations.
If your mother, for instance, is sup
posed to be dying, you negotiate with
some one of a neighboring village to
give certain sum for her body. If
she RECEIVERS the bargain falls through;
if she dies, the fact is notified im-
mediately to the man who has bought
her, and she is taken away to be de-

How the Houses in That City Are Con-
structcd and Furnished.

How the Houses in That City Are Con-
structed and Furnished.
Its inland and isolated situation has
made Bogota as city one of the least
progressive of the capitals of South
America, and more than any other,
perhaps, it retains its old Spanish as
poets. The majority of its houses are
of one story, because of the prevalence
of earthquakes, but there are many of
two and three stories. Their exterior is
not unpreposscssing, but with tile roofs
little architectural effect can be attempt
ed. The material is generally adobe,
or sun-dried brick, and the walls re-
ceive a thickness of from two to three
feet Within-doors, at least the better
classes live as comfortably as in other
parts of the world, and many of the
private residences are luxuriantly ap.
pointed. There is invariably an open
interior court, called patio, in the cen
ter of which is perhaps fountain, sur
rounded by numerous and beautiful
flowers and plants which bloom per-
petually. Although they have to be
transported across the Cordilleras at
great cost, upon the backs of peoncs,
pianos, generally of German manufact-
ure, are common. Instead of carpets,
which harbor tleas-the greatest pests
of the city-a peculiar mating known
as estcra, is often employed. The walls
are usually papered, occasionally out
side aswell as within. The roofs project
over the narrow sidewalk and furnish
partial protection from the rain.
The principal streets are paved or mac
adamized, and are built at right angles
to each other. They are, however,
narrow, and in the center of each is a
cano, or surface sewer, often inditfer-
emily supplied with water, which con-
veys the refuse of the city to the plain
below. In the econstruction of the houses
but little regard is had for hygienic
principles, and the sanitary regulations
of the city are inadequate, or at least
inditierently, obeyed. The easements
of the principal houses in Calle Real and
Gale Florian--the business streets-are
rented as stores, but in other parts OF
the city they are occupied by the poorer
classes, who crowd into these dark and
close tenements, together with poultry,
cats and dogs, monkeys and parrots,
etc. where they live, cook. eat and
sleep in the same apartment lnnu-
merable chicherias-shops in which is
made and sold chicha, cheap but un.
wholesome drink of fcrmented corn,
a d similar to the "still beer of whisky
manufacturers-are found. - Interior

WOMEN IN SWEDEN.
The Swedish Parliament Recognizes Wom-
ans Worth and Her Rlghts-A Step in
the Right Direction.

The Swedish Parliament Recognizes Wom-
ans Worth and Her Rlghts-A Step in
the Right Direction.
The last session of the Swedish
Rigsdag was productive of several bills
of special interest to women. Herr +.
I. Borg brought forward one to pro-
vide for the election of independent
women on poor-law boards and school
boards, and also that resolution
should be passed by the National
Health Department that any woman of
full age could be elected on the Board
of Health.
The first proposition was supported
by the legal committee, which main
taincd that women, by disposition, as
well as experience, were fit to UNDER
take the duties belonging to the guard
ianship of the poor They have long
since acquired knowledge and prao-
teal training in the case of the poor,
of whom, moreover, the larger proper
ton are women and children.
With regard to the second proposal
the election of women on school coun-
cils-the committee considered it to
be advisable, inasmuch as women were
teachers in every district AS the mo-
ton passed through the Rigsdag, the
second Chamber voted by one hundred
and one votes against seventy-seven in
favor of the measure.
The committee also approved of
Herr Borg's proposal that women
should be members of the Boards of
Health, and the Chamber confirmed it
with thirty-cight votes against twenty
four.
Herr August Bokstrom brought for
ward a motion that women should be
taken into the Riksbank Government
Bank), but this. in accordance with u
representation made by the bank, was
rejected without discussion. 1t was
suggested, however, that the Govern
ment ought to ascertain how far wom-
en- could be placed in the smaller
branch offices, the number of which is
fast increasing. -EngIiShwomdn's Re
